HEADTEACHER'S WELCOME - Lizzie Mullarky
Be Here. Be You. Belong.
Welcome to Brackenbury.
Choosing a school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. You want a place where they will be happy, safe and inspired. A place where they will make friends, develop confidence, discover their talents and enjoy coming to school each day. At Brackenbury, we believe that every child deserves exactly that.
Our vision is simple: Be Here. Be You. Belong.
These three words capture what we want every child to experience throughout their journey with us.
💙 Be Here
From the moment children join our school, they are welcomed into a caring and inclusive community where they are known, valued and supported. We understand that children thrive when they feel secure, confident and connected, and we work hard to ensure that every child feels a genuine sense of belonging.
Children quickly become part of a warm and nurturing environment built on kindness, respect and strong relationships. We want every child to feel excited about coming to school, confident to participate and happy to be themselves.
🌟 Be You
Every child is unique and brings their own interests, strengths and personality. We celebrate individuality and provide opportunities for all children to discover what excites and inspires them.
Whether through sport, music, art, leadership opportunities, outdoor learning or our wider curriculum, we encourage children to be curious, ambitious and proud of who they are. We want every child to leave Brackenbury with the confidence to believe in themselves and the courage to embrace new challenges.
Our commitment is simple: every child has the opportunity to shine.
🏡 Belong
Brackenbury is more than a school. It is a community.
Our unique learning spaces, including our woodland trail, library, art room, music studio, sensory room and kitchen, provide children with memorable experiences that enrich their learning and broaden their horizons. Just as importantly, they create opportunities for children to learn together, grow together and build lasting memories.
Parents often tell us that Brackenbury feels like a family. It is something we are incredibly proud of. We believe that the strongest schools are built on positive relationships between children, staff and families, and we value the partnership we create with every family who joins us.
Our ambition is simple: for every child to flourish academically, socially and personally, while feeling valued for who they are.
However, the best way to experience our school is to visit us, meet our wonderful children and see our community in action.
We would be delighted to welcome you.

We are delighted to announce that we gained the PLATINUM school games award for creating a physically literate school
where every child, regardless of ability, confidence or additional need, could develop the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and engage in lifelong physical activity.
We are currently in the application process for a Gold Artsmark.

Learning with others
We are an active member of the TTSA group of schools. The schools are Balfour Primary, Brackenbury Primary, Mile Oak Primary and Queens Park Primary and Varndean Secondary School. In the dynamic landscape of education, we, a collective of visionary headteachers, have emerged, driven by our shared commitment to enhance the educational journey of both students and staff alike. United in purpose, we have formed a collaborative alliance, pooling our expertise and experiences to cultivate an environment where every child can thrive and every educator can excel.
We are proud to be part of the Portslade Cluster of Schools. We work with other schools for the good of all the children in our area.
School Ping is the way that we send out all of our communications. Not only does this system give you instant information, it reduces the use of paper. Please see below for pings that are sent out to the whole school.
